Sun Chemical has announced that it will showcase its portfolio of inks for monobloc, tube and aerosol cans as well as its brand protection solutions for metal packaging at the Aerosol and Dispensing Forum (ADF) 2017.

Visitors of the show will see the MB Plus Series on display, an ink series that has been specifically designed for the application on monobloc aerosols. The ink series uses an alkyd-based ink system which has been modified for optimum performance on new generation product lines utilising modern basecoat technology.

The SunTrio range for three-piece cans for sheetfed printing offers adhesion between layers and to the substrate. SunTrio, both in UV and conventional, is suitable for most types of aerosol cans and closures.

Spot colour shades can be produced directly onsite with the help of SunMatch, Sun Chemical’s web-based colour matching tool. This offers flexibility to printers and allows a quick reaction to any specific customer colour request.

Following Sun Chemical’s partnership with Document Security Solutions (DSS), booth visitors will also learn how AuthentiGuard can help brand owners, supply chain personnel and consumers to validate product authenticity using a smartphone. Multiple covert taggant-reader systems, special effect inks and smart sensor technology will also be highlighted at the booth.

Eduardo Alegria, global metal deco ink sales director at Sun Chemical, will be speaking during the show. His presentation, “Counterfeiting and How to Prevent It from a Packaging Perspective” will be delivered on 6 September.
